Credit Union SA55+ Account
Our 55+ Account is a transaction account available to all members aged 55 and over. It offers you the ability to earn higher returns without having to lock funds away and has no monthly account keeping fees. Whether you’re working, receiving a pension or retired, that combination is hard to beat. You can request a free Visa Debit Card with payWave which you can load into Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Garmin Pay. Now you can pay for purchases using your smart device, wherever mobile payment systems are offered. Get unbeatable security through measures such as the Visa Zero Liability policy (which protects against unauthorised transactions) and our own 24/7 fraud monitoring service. You’ll also be able to temporarily lock your card (if you misplace it), plus block payWave, international and online transactions whenever you need to – using the Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking. Online banking with this account is available 24/7 with Internet Banking and our Mobile Banking App. Internet banking will provide you with eStatements as well as the means to securely message each other, reducing paper and postage costs.
